A Clinical Trial of PRAX-222 in Pediatric Participants With Early Onset SCN2A Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy

The number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events will be reported by severity and preferred term.

Seizure frequency will be captured by a seizure diary and outcomes will be measured by summing the seizure frequency over a 28-day time period following the 6th dose administration in the confirmatory phase.

Seizure frequency will be captured by a seizure diary and outcomes will be measured by summing the seizure frequency over a 28-day time period following the 4th dose administration in the preliminary safety phase.

Seizure frequency will be captured by a seizure diary and outcomes will be measured by summing the seizure frequency over a 28-day time period following each dose administration in the preliminary safety phase.

Seizure frequency will be captured by a seizure diary and outcomes will be measured by summing the seizure frequency over a 28-day time period following each dose administration in the preliminary safety phase. Percent change in seizure frequency will be calculated using a 4-week baseline observation period during Screening as the baseline measure.

Seizure frequency will be captured by a seizure diary and outcomes will be measured by summing the seizure frequency over a 28-day time period following each dose administration in the preliminary safety phase. Percent change in seizure frequency will be calculated using a 4-week baseline observation period during Screening as the baseline measure. Treatment response will be defined as a >=50% reduction in seizure frequency.

Seizure frequency will be captured by a seizure diary and outcomes will be measured by summing the seizure frequency over a 28-day time period following the 6th dose administration in the dose escalation phase.

A vEEG will be performed to record brainwave activity. Changes in mean vEEG measures (including, but not limited to, background frequency, slowing, epileptiform activity, sleep architecture, and seizures) will be calculated

The CGI-S assesses the clinician's impression of the participant's current epilepsy symptoms. The clinician should use his/her total clinical experience with this patient population and rate the current severity of the participant's symptoms on a 7-point scale from 1 (Normal, not at all affected) to 7 (Among the most extremely affected patients)

The CgGI-S assesses the caregiver's impression of the participant's current epilepsy symptoms. The caregiver will rate the current severity of the participant's symptoms on a 7-point scale from 1 (Normal, not at all affected) to 7 (Extremely affected)

The CGI-I assesses the participant's improvement (or worsening). The clinician is required to assess the participant's condition relative to Baseline (Day 1) on a 7-point scale from 1 (Very much improved) to 7 (Very much worse).

Developmental milestones will be assessed using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development - Fourth Edition (Bayley-4) domain and subtest scores or the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence - Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV). The Bayley-4 is a standardized neurodevelopmental assessment measure used by clinicians to evaluate key domains in early childhood development for individuals between 16 days and 42 months after birth. Each domain includes a variable number of items for assessing development. Each item is scored as a 0, 1, or 2 based on the child's response to the rater's prompt or instruction. Higher scores on the Bayley-4 indicate more advanced development. The WPPSI-IV is a comprehensive test used to assess cognitive function in children from the age of 2 years 6 months to 7 years 7 months. Higher scores on the WPPSI-IV indicate more advanced development.

The QI-Disability is a parent-report measure for children with intellectual disabilities. Parents report on engagement in and enjoyment of activities and behaviors related to health and well-being, feelings and emotions, family and friends, activities and the outdoors, and daily life. 32 items are rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (Never) to 4 (Very often). Higher scores on the QI-Disability indicate more frequent and more enjoyable behavior and activity.

The Vineland-3 is a clinician-assessed measure of adaptive behavior in individuals with intellectual disabilities using information obtained via interview of a caregiver or parent. Individuals are assessed on frequency of adaptive behaviors in the following domains: communication, daily living skills, socialization, and motor skills. Each domain has a variable number of items. Each item is scored on a 2 or 3-point scale from 0 (Never) to 2 (Usually). Higher scores indicate more frequent behaviors.

The ABC-2 is a clinician-assessed rating scale consisting of 58 items that measure the severity of a range of problem behaviors commonly observed in individuals with intellectual disabilities, including irritability, social withdrawal, stereotypic behavior, hyperactivity, and inappropriate speech. Items are rated on a 4-point scale from 0 (not at all a problem) to 3 (the problem is severe in degree). Higher scores indicate more aberrant behaviors.

The parent-reported Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) is a 26-item scale designed to categorize sleep disorders in children. In addition to an overall score, the instrument provides 5 sub-scores for the following: disorders of initiating and maintaining sleep, sleep breathing disorders, disorders of arousal or sleep-wake transition disorders, disorders of excessive somnolence, and sleep hyperhidrosis. Most items are scored on a 5-point scale from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). The amount of time spent asleep and the length of time taken to fall asleep is also used in calculating the score. Higher scores on the SDSC indicate more sleep disturbances.
